FEARS FOR FUTURE OF RESORT PUBS

YET another well known resort pub has been put up for sale - adding to a growing list of local hostelries that are now on the market.

The Fox and Goose pub in Cable Street - much loved as a live music venue in the town - is looking for a buyer but although it closed temporarily last week, it is set to reopen this weekend while a search for a new owner gets underway.

The pub is on the market for £195,000 and the hope is a buyer will be found to help secure its future.

The Fox and Goose joins several other town centre pubs all for sale including The Coronation on King Street and the Old Ship on Eastbank Street.

Fears over the future of Southport’s pubs comes as national figures were released by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) showing that on average 18 pubs a week across the country are being forced to call last orders.

In the last year alone, almost 1,300 were closed down or converted into housing and offices. Now Camra is calling for urgent action to cut the tax burden placed on pubs as they are being hit by a triple whammy of high rates of beer duty, rapidly rising business rates and VAT. A third of the cost

Hats the way to do it!

by Danielle Thompson of a pub pint is now made up of taxes.

The Coronation’s sale price has dropped to £375,000 in order to try and attract a sale, while the Old Ship although described as a “thriving local up for grabs, and a high street pub with a community feel and loyal following” - is seemingly struggling to find a buyer..

Mike Perkins from the Southport & West Lancashire CAMRA branch said: “Rapidly rising pub costs are causing chaos for Britain's pubs and here in Southport we have seen what can happen. Continued inside

POLICE want to put the brakes on youngsters using off-road motorbikes during the school summer holidays.

Merseyside Police has an ongoing crackdown on scrambler bikes, called Operation Brookdale, and they are reminding locals to avoid getting into dangerous situations using the vehicles in Sefton.

Officers say that so far this year they have seen a decrease in reports of antisocial behaviour and nuisance involving off-road motorbikes across Merseyside.

More than 300 bikes have been seized during this time, many of which have been found to be stolen and have been reunited with their owners.

Merseyside Police Commissioner Jane Kennedy said: “Merseyside Police has worked very hard to crackdown on the illegal and anti-social use of nuisance bikes.

“Operation Brookdale has had real success, helping to protect communities and keep local people safe.

“A large number of bikes have been seized and many have been reunited with their rightful owners.”

Chief Inspector Gary O'Rourke, who leads the operation, said: “Reports of the anti-social and nuisance use of off-road motorbikes have decreased significantly this year, which is extremely encouraging for us and our communities, some of whom have been blighted by the issue.

“However, we know that the problem

has not gone away and it still affecting people’s lives, and we are determined to keep this momentum up and drive down these numbers even more, until the problem is completely removed for our communities.

“Key to all of the good results we see is information from the public and our partners, and we need this to continue. Our best chance of removing this threat is always to know where bikes are being stored before they get out on the streets. If you know where bikes are being stored, either in homes, storage units or elsewhere, please come forward and we will act on all information provided.

“We all have a part to play in Operation Brookdale. As we have sadly seen, it only takes one reckless action from a rider to devastate families and communities, and we all have a part to play in keeping our

roads, pavements and green spaces safe.

“This reduction is not down to luck, it is the result of a concerted effort across many different agencies, from local authorities, schools, youth groups, housing associations, and not least people within the communities affected.

“We know that some areas still suffer from problems but we see success on a daily basis, with officers acting on information to remove these bikes from the streets. As you can see, it makes a genuine difference.

“From work carried out in previous years, we know that incidents can increase during the holiday period. Working together, we will ensure that this doesn't happen. Think very carefully about the consequences, know where your children are, and support us and your own communities.”

Pubs up for sale

Friends of Rotten Row celebrate Green Flag award VOLUNTEERS from the Friends of Rotten Row have been celebrating after being given a prestigious Green Flag award.

The international award, now into its third decade, is a sign to the public that the space boasts the highest possible environmental standards, is beautifully maintained and has excellent visitor facilities. A total of 13 parks and greenspaces in Sefton were given the accolade.

Chairman Brian Quinn and the Friends of Rotten Row held a flag-raising ceremony to mark receiving the accolade for the fourth time last week.

Former resort worker killed in traffic accident A 28 YEAR old man who worked in the town for a number of years, has been killed in a collision with a campervan in Ingleton.

Joseph Michael Keane, aged 28, from Billinge, was a former claims handler at JCA Solicitors on Crowland Street.

He died in the incident between the adapted van and a Peugeot on Friday, July 13.

His family issued a heartfelt tribute to him: “It is not possible to describe just how much Joe was loved by his mum and dad, sister, girlfriend and all his family and friends.

“He was such a kind, considerate loving person and we have been

The Friends of Rotten Row held a flag-raising ceremony to mark receiving the accolade for the fourth time last week.

From page 1 “As well as the Fox and Goose being temporarily shut, there are others up for sale across the town.

Many don’t come back they are either being demolished or turned into something else.

“In Southport and the surrounding area we have lost the Shakespeare, the London and the Portland.”

Others lost include The Plough at Crossens; The Becconsall at Hesketh Bank; The Blundell Arms; The Lido in Ainsdale (which closed 15 years ago and was demolished). The Sandpiper at Ainsdale also shut its doors for the last time after becoming increasingly dilapidated.

The Coronation

The Sands pub in Ainsdale closed its doors in November and has been boarded up but this is not currently listed for sale online.

However Mike said it was not all doom and gloom: “The exceptions are breweries that continue to own the pubs and employ managers, like Wetherspoons and micro breweries which are popping up everywhere and have more control of what they are doing – and are flourishing.”

privileged to have had him in our lives for 28 years.

“He had a lovely dry, warm sense of humour which endeared him to whomever was lucky enough to have been in his presence.”

The driver of the campervan conversion who was arrested at the scene has been released while under investigation to allow for further police enquiries.

Meeting arranged to help residents fight leasehold charges RESIDENTS who have been hit with leasehold fees are invited to a public meeting this Friday (July 27) to ‘fight back’ against the charges.

The meeting has been organised by Dukes Ward Councillor John Pugh who has invited staff from the Leasehold Advisory Service to Southport to advise residents of their rights regarding leasehold charges.

Cllr Pugh said: “There have been many wellpublicised scandals where residents in both flats and houses felt themselves exploited through escalating ground rents, high service charges or being asked to pay for permission to make modest changes to their property.

“Sefton Council even conducted a special enquiry into the proliferation of new leasehold house sales where purchasers often found only after the event about a whole host of additional costs attached to their property.

“The Leasehold Advisory Service are acknowledged national experts on this issue and can help residents stand up to management companies, builders and agents.

“Hopefully, they can brief us on how and when the law is about to change. Previous meetings with the Leasehold Advisory Service have been very successful and well appreciated. Now with many retired people on fixed incomes facing hikes on maintenance and new home owners slammed with unexpected charges, the need is greater than ever.

“Anyone who has a problem should definitely try to make the meeting.”

The meeting is at 10.30am at the Salvation Army Citadel on Shakespeare Street.

Teacher to cycle more than 300 miles in memory of pupils A PE teacher is set to cycle 310 miles from London to Paris today (Wednesday) to raise funds for a national cancer charity.

Father of three Simon Dougherty, from Southport is the head of PE at Range High School in Formby, and he will take on the challenge alongside his friend Ian Baker, a father of two from Aintree, in memory of two of the school's pupils who passed away from cancer.

Each year, all of the staff and pupils from the school walk a mile in July for the Teenage Cancer Trust in memory of two pupils, Matthew Miller and James Wright. This year, the walk, named Matthew's Mile, raised more than £500. Now Simon and Ian are hoping to boost the charity's funds by at least another £3,500.

They were due to set off cycling at 7am from London and aim to reach the Eiffel Tower by this Saturday.

Simon, 41, who taught James Wright, said: “We wanted to raise money for Teenage Cancer Trust in memory of the pupils who we have sadly lost. It's a fantastic charity doing great work to help young people and as a teacher who deals with youngsters all the time and witnessing the effects of cancer first hand, it's something that's very close to my heart.

“The training has been full on at

by Danielle Thompson times and having an operation in April added to the challenge, but we are ready to do it and hopefully raise lots of money for a great cause."

Ian, 48, added: “I have got to know Range High School very well, delivering their sports tours over the years and when Simon asked me to join him on this cycling challenge I jumped at the chance.

“The Teenage Cancer Trust is a fantastic charity and fundraising for them being so closely connected with Range High School is a great thing to do. " The Teenage Cancer Trust is a cancer care and support charity in the UK that exists to improve the cancer experience of young people aged 13–24.

Founded in 1990, the charity's key service is providing specialist teenage units in NHS hospitals. Young people with cancer need specialised nursing care and support. Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity providing this, but right now they are only able to help half of young people diagnosed with cancer.

COUNTERFEIT cigarettes worth more than £40,000 have been seized from a house in Southport.

Sefton Council’s Trading Standards team and Merseyside Police raided the residential premise in the town centre which was being used to store illicit tobacco for a nearby retail unit after being tipped off by a member of the public.

More than 200,000 illegal cigarettes were seized after both premises were visited by Trading Standards officers and specially trained tobacco sniffer dogs. The seizure included counterfeit and nonduty paid products which cannot be legally sold in the UK. Cllr Paulette Lappin, Sefton Council’s cabinet member for regulatory, compliance and corporate services, said: “This incredible discovery would not have been possible without the hard work of our Trading Standards team and partners in Merseyside Police.

“We hope this seizure serves as a stark warning to others that we will always take action against anybody who chooses to trade in illegal tobacco.

“Sales of illicit tobacco is completely unfair on those traders who sell UK tobacco products legitimately.

“The availability of cheap illegal cigarettes like this needs to stop and we are determined to protect legitimate traders, consumers and the general pub-

lic. We actively encourage anyone who may be aware of or suspects that counterfeit cigarettes are being sold in the borough to let us know confidentially.”

Community policing sergeant, Andy Dentith said: “A concerted effort between Merseyside Police and our partners at Sefton Council’s Trading Standards team has led to this fantastic result and a large quantity of illegal and potentially dangerous cigarettes will now thankfully not reach the public.

“Any breaches of licenses or criminal offences that we find will be dealt with robustly. Our message is simple: we will visit, search and prosecute any businesses which put the health and safety of the community at risk.

“The recovery of more than 200,000 cigarettes will have significantly disrupted the activities of those involved and we ask anyone with any information about suspected illegal activity in the area to contact us.”

Wild meadow... or just simple neglect - council defend appearance of Duke St Cemetery SEFTON Council has defended leaving a section of Duke Street Cemetery in Southport to become a ‘wild meadow’ following claims that the burial ground looks ‘neglected.’

Critics point out the contrast between Dukes Street and the neighbouring graveyard at Sacred Heart in Birkdale.

Dukes Ward Councillor John Pugh said: “A council decision was made to go for a wild meadow effect but these recent photos show that its hard to distinguish that from simple neglect.”

A spokesman for Sefton Council said: “Some of the older parts of Duke Street Cemetery were converted to ‘meadow ’ sections a number of years ago, a process which ward councillors were actively involved in.

“We have been experimenting with the meadow management for sometime now and we've found that they are a great way of encour-

Report by Danielle Thompson THE newly refurbished Ainsdale station has officially re-opened.

It is now the most environmentally friendly station on the Merseyrail network after extensive renovations.

The previous booking office was demolished to make way for a new building, complete with solar panels, low energy LED lighting with smart controls and rainwater harvesting tanks to serve the toilet facilities.

The design achieved a Civil Engineering Environmental Quality Assessment and Award Scheme rating of ‘Excellent’ in recognition of its green credentials.

The station has now reopened to the public and includes a redeveloped car park. Passengers can enjoy a modern and bright booking office, improved waiting facilities and customer information screens that are state-of-the-art.

Andy Heath, managing director at Merseyrail said: “Ainsdale station has been a collaborative effort between Merseyrail, Merseytravel, Network Rail and the Department for Transport, and the final product is something we can all be really proud of.

“It represents the best in being environmentally friendly and provides our passengers at the station with better tech-

“Merseyrail have taken significant steps in recent years to be as environmentally friendly as we can and I’m really pleased that we’re continuing to lead the way in

that respect with projects like Ainsdale.”

Cllr Liam Robinson, Liverpool City Region Combined Authority Transport Portfolio Holder, added: "These new facilities will be of huge benefit to the community and with the green technology that has been incorporated, are a great representation of the forwardthinking that is taking place across the Merseyrail network.

“We have further ambitions for improving the city region rail network over the coming years and will continue to do so with the plans we have set out in our Long Term Rail Strategy.”

Funding for the station redevelopment has come from the National Station Improvement Programme with further contributions from Merseytravel and Merseyrail.

The new station is part of several significant developments on the network, including the recent opening of the new Maghull North station and the introduction of state-of-the-art trains from 2020.

Celebrity chef at Flower Show

Joyce Kettering celebrates her 103rd birthday with Hannah and Alisha at Ann Slade Care Home

Joyce celebrates reaching 103!

A MUM of two enjoyed celebrating her special 103rd birthday last week.

Grandmother of one Joyce Kettering celebrated her special day with a singsong and was joined by family, friends, staff and other residents at Southport’s Ann Slade Care Home on Mornington Road, where she has lived for the last 15 years.

Joyce celebrated her special day with

a party and a personalised floral cake.

Born in Liverpool, Joyce was married to Walter then Hector and lived in Egypt before moving to Southport to run a bed and breakfast hotel, where her cooking won her rave reviews.

She has credited ‘enjoying the finer things in life’ with reaching her fantastic age.

CELEBRITY chef Simon Rimmer is to cook up a treat at Southport Flower Show.

The popular TV presenter will show off his culinary talents in the demonstration kitchen at the UK’s largest independent flower show.

Simon survived six weeks on the last series of Strictly Come Dancing on BBC1 with his dance partner Karen Clifton, before losing the vote on Halloween week. Their routines included an emotional waltz to Liverpool FC anthem You’ll Never Walk Alone.

Simon has been a star attraction at Southport for several years and returns on Saturday,

August 18 for the 2018 show. He will do two demonstrations at noon and 2pm.

He has been a successful restaurateur for nearly three decades while also finding fame as a popular TV presenter. Best known for co-hosting Sunday Brunch and Something for the Weekend with Tim Lovejoy, earlier this year he also presented his own show, Britain’s Favourite Food, on Channel 4.

He said: “I’m really looking forward to coming back to Southport to demonstrate one of my favourite recipes. It is such a friendly show and I always get a really warm welcome there.”

The Food Village at Southport will feature over 60 gourmet producers offering the opportunity to sample and buy organic and artisan produce.

There is also a full working kitchen where celebrity chefs such as Simon and Flo Atkins a former Great British Bake Off contestant with demonstrate their skills and signature dishes.

General manager Ray Roukin added: “Simon is always a massive hit with our visitors who come from miles to see him demonstrate his culinary talents. Simon is one of the UK’s top chefs and is local, hailing from Liverpool. We’re delighted he can join us.”

Park fountains run dry as lake levels fall

The fountains at Hesketh Park

THE POPULAR fountains in Hesketh Park are temporarily off after water levels in the park lake dropped alarmingly due to weeks of dry weather.

According to a spokesperson at Sefton Council, the fountains are not running because the natural water levels of the lake have dropped to a point where the fountain temporarily stops coming on - due to the levels dropping from a lack of rain and evaporation.

Both fountains will be back

on once the water levels rise again.

This summer could be the hottest on record, the Met Office has said.

The daily maximum temperature so far has been 20.9C, while the hottest summer on record in 1976 saw an average daily maximum of 21C. It has also been the driest start to summer in modern records, which date back to 1961.

The male is 6 yyears old and has been at Martin Mere for ssome time but without a partner so we were d delighted when the opportunity to get a 5 year old female from Paignton Zoo came up. The pair have been together for two months now and are getting on well. They h have b been put out in our aviary and it is hoped that they will become a breeding pair – watch this space.”

The pair of Crowned cranes can be viewed from the aviary within the WOW area of the grounds.

African Crowned cranes are most notable for their stiff crown of gold feathers on the top of their head.

They are about 1m (3.3 ft) tall and weighs 3.5 kg

(7.7 lbs) with a wingspan of 2 m (6.5 ft). The chicks in contrast are orange in colour with lovely black markings on their back.

In other news at the centre: We are all prepared for the start of the Bionic Bugs summer activities which begin on Saturday 28 July – collect stickers for doing 8 bug-tastic activities as well as exploring to find six GIANT animatronic bugs around the grounds.

H’boro match commander to face trial with ex-club secretary HILLSBOROUGH match commander David Duckenfield will face a joint trial with ex-Sheffield Wednesday club secretary Graham Mackrell after a bid to separate the trials was rejected.

An application was put forward by Mr Mackrell's lawyers, who asked permission to be heard by a different jury for his alleged offences in connection to the 1989 disaster, which resulted in the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans.

However, Sir Peter Openshaw at Preston Crown Court turned down the application and they will stand trial together at the same court as scheduled

on January 14. Mr Duckenfield, 73, is charged with manslaughter by gross negligence over the deaths of 95 football supporters and Mr Mackrell is charged with an offence involving the stadium safety certificate and a health and safety offence.

Under the law at the time, there can be no prosecution for the death of the 96th victim, Tony Bland, as he died more than a year and a day after his injuries were caused.

Both defendants are set to enter their pleas at a pre-trial hearing at Preston Crown Court on September 10.

...and arrest 70 suspects in just one day!

MERSEYSIDE police arrested more than 70 wanted suspects in just one day after launching ‘Operation Hunted.

Officers announced the new campaign on Monday, July 16 in a bid to reduce the number of suspected criminals who are on the wanted list.

It included those who may have been involved in serious crimes, are linked evidentially to live investigations, or have breached the terms of their release from prison.

No sooner had the campaign got underway when the force announced it had arrested 70 wanted people from across Merseyside for a variety of offences.

Chief Superintendent Rob Carden, who is coordinating the force-wide operation, said: “This

Report by Tom Martin is a fantastic result. I want to assure the public that this is not a one-off and that the good work will continue in the coming weeks and months to find outstanding offenders and bring them into custody.

“Our most wanted individuals will also be put on our website and social media under the hashtag #OpHunted and I would encourage people to take a look and share information with us so that we can put as many people as possible behind bars.”

The ongoing operation will involve local police officers and PCSOs, detectives, roads policing units, specialist search

teams, the cannabis dismantling team and Matrix officers.

Chief Superintendent Carden added: “We are taking a coordinated force-wide approach, involving officers at all levels, to seek out those who are wanted by police. Local policing teams are working closely with detectives to identify and locate people connected to crimes.

“We never stop looking for people wanted for criminal offences and are maintaining the pressure on people who know they are wanted, but have yet to do the right thing and come forward.

“The next three weeks will see a huge push in locating these wanted individuals, and with the help of the public will ultimately make our communities safer.”

Firearms campaign Shogun World a success, claims Merseyside Police *<C 12552:=

Martial Arts Instructor for over 40 years Professor of Jiu Jitsu in England CRB cleared. Senior black belt coaching staff

SPORTS COACH OF THE YEAR 2000 / 2001 & 2002

Report by Tom Martin POLICE have hailed the success of two weeks of action carried out to ensure legally-held firearms and ammunition are being correctly and safely stored.

There are currently 16 registered firearms dealers on Merseyside, including sports and gun shops, shooting clubs and armouries, with one being in Formby in the form of Formby Gun Shop.

In the first week of action firearms enquiry officers, with the assistance of uniformed colleagues, visited each of the dealers to ensure legislation around storage, ownership and record-keeping was being complied with.

All stock was checked against the dealers register and specialist architectural liaison officers checked that properties were secure.

As a result one registered firearm dealer was removed from the register and their personal firearms certificate revoked after an insecure weapon and parts were found in their property.

A second dealer was also

Safety checks carried out on regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gun dealers removed from the register and their firearms, shotgun and explosive certificates revoked after a quantity of ammunition was found to be not stored securely.

In a second week of action 23 firearms and shotgun certificate owners, who own multiple weapons, were visited and security checks carried out by officers.

A warning letter was issued to one person whose explosive licence had expired and a full survey carried out at a property where the security did not meet the required standard. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Riskâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Assistant Chief Constable Ian Critchley said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a responsibility for public safety and ensuring that everyone who legitimately owns a firearm or ammunition is correctly registered and abides by the

legislation. This is not about preventing people from legally holding firearms but about ensuring firearms are correctly and safely stored and this activity has been very successful in reducing the risk to the communities of Merseyside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nationally there is concern that lawfully-held firearms are finding their way into criminal hands which is why it is important that operations such as these are carried out regularly to identify anyone who is not abiding by the law and in doing so is putting themselves or other people at risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During our second week of action it became apparent that some certificate holders had become blasĂŠ in their approach to security of their guns and their home, which leaves them in a vulnerable position and poses a risk to public safety. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also became apparent that they were not using all of their guns and two certificate holders have now reduced the amount in their possession â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with 10 in total either being sold or destroyed by Merseyside Police.

There is ongoing work by certificate holders to continue to reduce the amount of weapons in their possession due to them not being used.â&#x20AC;?

RSPCA’s Summer Fair raises more than £3,000 MORE than £3,000 was raised at the RSPCA’s annual summer fair.

The event was opened this year

by Southport MP Damien Moore, who thanked the Southport, Ormskirk and District branch for their work and the high standard of animal welfare they provide.

Paul Gibson from the charity said: “We would like to thank everyone who came and supported us. It was a great day raising more than £3,222, which will help in our vital work to rehabilitate and rehome animals that have come from cases of cruelty and

neglect. We would like to say a big thank you to all of the stallholders and the West Lancs Dog Display Team for putting on a superb performance.

“Special thanks also to the 281 (Southport) Sqn Air Training Corp for marshalling the car park,

which in turn was kindly provided

by Mr & Mrs F Baybutt of East Crantum Farm.

“Without everyone’s help we couldn’t keep putting on these spectacular fairs. Over the next few weeks we will start to plan for our Christmas Fair.”

Report by Henry James A HOSEPIPE ban will come into force next month following what is believed to be the longest heatwave since 1976.

United Utilities will introduce the ban from Sunday, August 5 in a bid to help the company, which supplies water to households in the north west, to ‘safeguard essential supplies for longer’.

The ban will apply to domestic customers who get their water supply from United Utilities.

Martin Padley, United Utilities water services director, said: “Despite some recent rainfall, reservoir levels are still lower than we would expect at this time of year and, with forecasters predicting a return to hot dry weather for the rest of July, we are now at a point where we will need to impose some temporary restrictions on customers.

“It is not a decision we have taken lightly and we are enormously grateful to customers for having helped reduce the demand on our network over the last couple of weeks, but unless we get a period of sustained rainfall before August 5 these restrictions will help us safeguard essential water supplies for longer.”

While the ban restricts the use of hosepipes or sprinklers for watering private gardens and washing private cars, customers will still be able to water their gardens with a watering can and wash their vehicles using a bucket and sponge. These methods typically use a fraction of the amount of water a hosepipe or sprinkler uses.

The move by United Utilities is alongside the company ’s continuing efforts to maintain essential supplies, such as maximising water abstraction from ground water supplies, moving water around its regional integrated network of pipes and running an extensive campaign to encourage customers to use water wisely.

People who do not follow the ban could face fines of up to £1,000.

Robert Light, of the Consumer Council for Water, said: “Customers would find it unacceptable for essential water use in the home to be restricted so we think it’s right for United Utilities to take action now to help alleviate that risk by preparing for a hosepipe ban.

“We’ve been assured that Blue Badge holders and customers on the company’s Priority Services Register will be exempt from any restrictions but we’d urge any other vulnerable customers who are unable to use a watering can, for instance, to get in touch with the company.”

“In the meantime we’d encourage customers to keep using water wisely and for the company to do everything in its power to reduce the amount of water lost through leaking pipes, in the hope that we may still be able to avoid restrictions.”

Euston has a problem... station to be closed on three weekends, passengers warned RAIL users in the region are being urged to avoid travelling to Euston for three weekends this summer.

As part of Britain’s Railway Upgrade Plan, Network Rail is replacing North Wembley junction - a major intersection on Europe’s busiest mixed-use railway. The junction is old and replacing it will mean passenger and freight users will benefit from better, more reliable journeys in future.

Unfortunately doing the work requires shutting the line over the following three weekends: August 18-19; August 25-27 (the bank holiday weekend) and September 1 and 2.

The Euston shutdown will impact all services on the West Coast main line.

Martin Frobisher, managing director for Network Rail’s London North Western route said: “There is never an ideal time to shut the railway but these three weekends are the least disruptive times to do it. We have worked together for the past three years with train operators to carefully plan this closure of the railway in a way that minimises the impact on customers.

“It’s vital the track at North Wembley is replaced to continue to safely meet the huge demand of passenger and freight rail services on the West Coast main line. This work will result in better, more reliable journeys in future.”

Smoke screen for cuts Idiots on scooters are an The proposals by Southport and Ormskirk, NHS trust chiefs to build a new hospital somewhere between Southport and Ormskirk is neither radical nor rational and will see local communities in conflict once again.

The rhetoric is positive but the reality is a failing trust that has closed cancer services, people lying on trolleys in A&E and services being lost to private contractors.

We have also had a series of management scandals destroying confidence in their ability to deliver.

This is just a smoke screen for further cuts to our National Health Service.

The split site services review that established the current service provision (April 1, 1999) was wrong then and the report by the Northern England Clinical Senate, confirms that it is wrong now.

The whole process was gerrymandered when they introduced ‘visitors’ to Southport as an excuse to establish the A&E there. The trust is now using the elderly to push through further closures at the Ormskirk Hospital under the discredited ‘Hot and Cold Site’ scenario.

At the time of the last review local people were promised improvement in public transport and highways and the fact is that things have got worse.

The report has recommended that Southport hospital is used as a new Hot Site for redevelopment and closing maternity and paediatric services

at Ormskirk. They will be moved to another nearby trust, outside of West Lancashire and Southport, including the Children’s A&E department.

What we need is a new Super Hospital built in Skelmersdale, which already has excellent highway links to Ormskirk and Southport via the new A5758. The M58 motorway link would also enable fast links to regional services in Merseyside, Greater Manchester and Lancashire.

Southport hospital could easily become a rehabilitation and hospital for the elderly.

Cllr John Fillis, Labour Deputy Leader, Lancashire County Council

Merge eleswhere Why are Southport and Ormskirk hospitals merged?

Southport isn’t in Lancashire, it’s in Sefton, so go let them merge with a hospital in Merseyside.

I recently needed treatment from a specialist but because she was based at Southport Hospital they refused to give me, an Ormskirk resident, an appointment so what’s the point of having both names in the title when they don’t serve both catchment areas 100%?

Build a new super hospital in Skelmersdale that can serve the whole of West Lancs for decades to come.

Aughton resident

Here we go again on hospital reorganisation

I read the article last week by the new chief executive for our local NHS hospitals, and I thought ‘here we go again’.

More building, more reorganisation of services, more movement of facilities elsewhere.

When the hospital was built it was designed to service the community, however since then all that has been done is get rid of medical staff, close wards and turn them into offices, and move services to Ormskirk, which is inaccessible because the single lane road is always blocked with traffic especially at this time of year.

So the cheapest way

to improve services is to get rid of all the excessive office staff, re-model the offices and use them for what they should have been were designed for wards.

That will then achieve what the

report requires - to create additional capacity, improve patient flow and shorten A&E waiting times to achieve government targets... far cheaper too.

John Lyon-Taylor, Southport

accident waiting to happen

Twice in two weeks I have been at Portland Field walking the dog when idiots on scooters have been riding across the fields with no helmet and no registration number whilst dogs were chasing balls and children enjoying time with their parents.

I have tried without success to find a contact point at Sefton council to suggest that they install narrow barriers at the two main entrances to the field to stop these mopeds and scooters getting access. At the moment they can drive easily on and off at each end of the bicycle track.

I tried ringing the police 101 number and this was a waste of time with a series of recorded messages and suggestions that I refer to the police website.

I naively believed I could get through to someone in case they had a patrol in the area to catch the culprits red handed. One lad was riding round for a good 20 minutes in the knowledge there are no security or police patrols to

enforce the law and bye laws.

I didn't class this as a 999 emergency but it's an accident waiting to happen.

Why light fires?

Given the current dry conditions and the number of fires which have occured, why oh why do some people think it’s ok to light fires after the thimble full of rain we have had.

Are they plain stupid or just ignorant. Our fire service is stretched enough without this kind of stupidity.

Village ‘disaster’ plan, more like!

The Tarleton Masterplan to build nearly 1,500 homes, should be more correctly titled The Tarleton DISaster Plan.

I have lived in Tarleton for 33 years and, along with many other residents, am horrified to find that our Parish Council is apparently supporting this ridiculous proposal.

These councillors are supposed to represent the interests of the resid-

ents, not those of absentee land owners and their agents whose only interest is in converting Green Belt into £notes.

Tarleton has contributed massively in the provision of new housing in recent years. We don't need developments of this size and our councillors need to recognise this or pay the penalty at the ballot box.

Rod Frobisher, Tarleton

More praise for obliging staff of Merseyrail

Louise Bark from Canada is certainly correct (Merseyrail went above and beyond to help disabled passenger).

I often travel from Ainsdale to Central Station in Liverpool and am constantly reminded how helpful, obliging and pleasant Merseyrail staff are. Nothing is too much trouble.

They are to be commended on their positive attitude and care of passengers.

Thank-you all.

Nature’s wonder show never ceases to amaze Following on from the recent air show in Southport, my poem wonders at nature’s very own amazing flying machines.

‘The Alternative Southport Air Show’ The red admiral butterflies opened the show, They flew in high and danced down low, Fluttering colours skimming flowers and trees, Their wings synchronized upon the summer breeze, Followed by a formation of iridescent dragonflies, Beating double wings swoop across sapphire skies, Tiny engines racing past your ear, Just out of reach when flying near, The bumble bee is next up in the air, Buzzing take off in stripey outer wear, Scientists say, he shouldn’t be able to fly, But he just shrugs, how far, how high?

Somersaulting dandelion clocks arrive, Aerial displays they swirl and dive, Gardeners give chase, fearing more weeds, But the clocks parachute down and take no heed, Every flower has a bright landing strip to share, Beckoning petals welcome each traveller, A fanfare at dusk is lit by dancing fireflies, Closing the show amidst sparkling skies.

PICTURE of the week

Wonderful care at hospital I was recently admitted to Southport hospital unexpectedly and I feel I must tell all adverse critics that my care was wonderful.

In this, the 70th year of our NHS, many try to criticise their treatment, but not I. The nurses were extremely busy but never too busy to give a cheery smile and a word of encouragement.

While on my back a lot of the time I observed a Romanian nurse, Laura on 11A, who was so gentle yet efficient. And the food was first class too!.

Thank you to everyone!

Sandra Nixon, Southport

Bring back breast cancer services I found your report interesting about possible changes to Ormskirk/Southport hospitals.

However, there was no mention of bringing back breast cancer services to these hospitals which should be a priority.

I am a patient myself and have to travel to Wigan to use an overstretched service which I find very stressful and not up to the level I had

previously been given in Ormskirk.

If there is another hospital to be built surely Skelmersdale would be the obvious site with our excellent access to motorways and our growing population, and would fulfill the promise we were given more than 45 years ago.

LETTERS to the Editor

Clare House, 166 Lord Street, Southport PR9 0QA tel 01704 392 400 email editor@champnews.com

Our natural environment is being destroyed In Altcar Lane, Formby, a huge hedge is destroyed on approval from the council alongside a site which was formerly in the green belt.

Morrison Homes will build 24 houses on this tiny 0.07 hector site. The two parish councils, Formby Civic Society and many local residents put in lists of objections about its value to wildlife, openness over the green belt its views of the listed Lovelady farm, its traffic and parking problems, its proximity to the sewage works, loss of the hedge and intrusion onto the green belt.

Timetable changes had devastating impact on passengers It was hoped the train timetable change on May 20 would mark the start of a new era for local rail services with thirteen irregular services each day replaced with an hourly timetable that aligned quite well with the Merseyrail services to Liverpool and many connections at Preston.

After a disastrous start Northern introduced an emergency timetable that saw many services operated by a replacement bus and the remaining trains still too frequently delayed and subject to last minute cancellation. Subsequently Northern adjusted the timetable again making almost half of the services bus operated.

The impact on passengers and the service has been devastating and I have taken the matter up with the train operator.

So far Northern has said the temporary timetable will run until the end of July but I am not sure they understand the impact of removing so many services like they have.

If this was the Lakes line it would be a national news item. What I can report is that the newly appointed, interim route director for Northern has agreed to review the matter with the timetable planners team and myself.

Alan Fanton, Ormskirk, Preston and Southport Travellers Association (OPSTA)

The developer's ecological consultants, however, in their report insist that the site has no value for nature and that the hedgerow is ‘defunct’ - in other words dead or dying. This word is emphasised 14 times.

They do admit that it is a Priority Habitat and a wildlife corridor and there is evidence of bats foraging in the 13 mature trees in the hedge.

Our report describes the hedge as an extremely healthy one which supports a huge range of insects including rare species of moths and caterpillars and bees.

It goes on to say that many house sparrows were spotted, this species is on the Red List in the UK which means it is globally threatened.

Starlings were also in evidence which are also on the Red List.

‘Accepted’ It continues by saying the hedge is ‘an irreplaceable seam of wildlife riches’ and is in total contrast to the developers report.

No mention is made of a site visit by members

of the planning committee and their ecological department MEAS who refused to come out and see the hedge with me when asked.

It would appear that Sefton council have simply accepted the developers report without any appraisal of the site or the hedge which cannot be justified.

How much longer are the people of Formby going to stand by and watch what is left of their natural environment be destroyed?

Yvonne Irving, Formby

Schools offer more support to children of migrants SEFTON Council has revealed plans to help migrant schoolchildren get a better start in early years education.

In May, the local authority securing a £244,000 grant to help the borough’s schools increase levels of educational support to migrant children who come to live in the area.

Work has already begun on a two year English Language Support project which will be rolled out to primary schools across the borough.

As part of the project, migrant schoolchildren who are learning English as an additional language will now have access to weekly

support sessions, while their families will receive access to linguistic lending libraries.

Teachers and support staff in primary schools across Sefton are also undergoing additional training to help them further improve their skills to support new migrant children who move to the borough.

Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council's Cabinet Member for Communities and Housing, said: "The legacy of this amazing project will leave schools across Sefton with specially trained staff, a sustainable English Language network and a bank of key resources for staff to build upon in years to come.

MARINE mammal enthusiasts in Sefton are being urged to take part in an annual conservation project, by keeping an eye out for whales, dolphins and porpoises.

Scientists at the Sea Watch Foundation are looking for help collecting records in their National Whale and Dolphin Watch. They are asking for coastline lovers to donate at least one hour of their time between Saturday, July 28 and Sunday, August 5 to make a note of the mammals they can see from nearby beaches including Southport, Formby and Crosby.

The Sea Watch Foundation has monitored whales, dolphins and porpoises in British and Irish waters for more than 40 years with the help of volunteer scientists who have reported presence, location and numbers of cetaceans from around the country. For the past 16 years, they have held the watch event and last year almost 700 sightings were logged around England.

Giulia Bertulli, sightings officer at Sea Watch Foundation, said: “All you need to bring with you is patience, a lot of enthusiasm, binoculars, and sightings forms and a cetacean identification guide, downloadable from the Sea Watch website.”

Mike Colmans

Mike’s new book explores the human condition A FIRST-TIME author from Southport has published a collection of short stories available on Amazon which, he says, search the human condition... but with a twist in the tale!

Father of two Mike Colmans’ collection of 10 short stories, Coffee at Di Marcos, explore the themes of fear, jealousy, loneliness, love and hate.

Born in Hong Kong, Mike moved to Southport more than eight years ago and took up writing after a career in insurance.

He said: “The stories include asking questions such as, ‘is there more to a simple cup of coffee than meets the eye?’ and ‘what can happen to a person when gardening becomes the focus of their life? or ‘winning the lottery or the pools is always a good thing... or is it?

“When my English teacher described me as a late developer, little did I think that only 40 years later I would have written my debut book!”

Ex-soap extra pens first novel

by Danielle Thompson A FORMER soap opera extra has penned her first novel... called ‘Life’s a Bitch... Until You Become One.’ Joy Lanian, 60, who has appeared in many prime-time television soaps and dramas, inlcuding Brookside, Coronation Street and Peak Practice, survived ovarian cancer when she was 40 years old. Her life ever since has, she says, been ‘one big adventure’ and included spending two years travelling around Europe in a campervan.

Now the mum-of-two has written her first novel, available on Amazon, and hopes it might help victims of bullying and domestic abuse.

Joy said: “Bullying can take many forms - it can touch anyone of our lives at any point without us realising.

“Whether it be a lover who is reckless and intimidating or a school playground bully, neighbours, relatives or love rivals, at some point each and every one of us will encounter some sort of intimidation.

“I wanted to write about a woman, whose coping skills help her overcome the oppressive issues she comes up against

Joy Lanian

and allow her to become stronger. This is a book that I hope will appeal to all, and maybe touch some readers’ lives.”

The fictional novel features the story of ‘Joanne Harris’ as she flees an abusive marriage and begins a new chapter in her life.

Joy added: “Joanne’s main aim is to embrace her new life by seeking work on some farflung shore but before she has time to look out for her passport, she meets David Winston.

“How will she react once she finds David has a hidden secret, a fondness of other women and a step cousin whose aim is to be Mrs David Winston herself one day? Joanne never realised how strong she was until being strong becomes her only option.”

Hospital transfer lounge opens A NEW discharge and transfer lounge at Southport Hospital has been officially opened.

Health chiefs hope it will improve patient flow, relieving pressure on A&E, improving care and the overall patient experience.

Head of patient flow Hazel Irizar explains: “This is part of a bigger project

to completely overhaul our emergency care provision. The new unit will free up space in accident and emergency, and provide a more comfortable experience for patients waiting to be discharged.

The unit has three beds and a side-room, plus a seating area for up to eight mobile patients.

“The next and final stage of works will

begin shortly, and this will see A&E refurbished by autumn. Additional bays, additional staff and improved triage facilities to accelerate patient hand over from ambulance crews, will create a much improved experience and environment for both patients and staff.”

Chief executive Silas Nicholls added: “Improving the experience of care for

patients attending Accident and Emergency has been a priority for us for some time.

“The new discharge lounge, along with our Clinical Decision Unit which opened earlier this year, and the planned A&E refurbishment, will vastly improve our performance and resilience.”

The new discharge and transfer lounge is open at Southport Hospital

SEFTON residents are being given the chance to see for themselves how their rubbish is recycled when an open day at a state-ofthe-art recycling facility takes place this weekend.

The doors will be opened at Gillmoss Materials Recovery Facility, Liverpool, one of two facilities in the region, where over 200,000 tonnes of recyclable material from homes in Sefton, Liverpool, Knowsley, the Wirral and Halton is processed.

Resource management company, Veolia – who operate the facility on behalf of Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority, use a range of manual, optical and mechanical techniques to turn the region’s waste into a resource.

The company says there will be lots to see and do, hands on activities for children and tips on how you can be more sustainable, as well as having the opportunity to view the facility in action. You can also witness first hand how around 90 conveyor belts carry recyclable material around the facility from the viewing walkway and there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions.

Booking is not required for the free event which takes place from 10am to 2pm this Friday (July 27).

Veolia also run a Recycling Discovery Centre, also based at Gillmoss.

Appeal for musicians to perform at Hesketh Park’s 150th celebrations

Family in plea for return of stolen dolls house Report by Danielle Thompson THE owners of a much-treasured family heirloom which was stolen from a grandmother-of-five while she was ill and away from home, have appealed for its return.

Callum Wyatt, 34, from Southport, says his gran’s metre-high by metre-wide dolls house was taken from her home in Wavertree earlier this month while she was undergoing medical treatment.

Callum said that the front window was pulled out of its frame by a crowbar and the huge dollshouse was taken from the property, which would have been 'heavy enough to need at least three people to carry it' as well as its miniature figurines and furniture, which he believes were placed inside a suitcase, which was also stolen from her home at the same time.

The dolls house, which was made by Callum’s grandfather over the course of seven years, is unique and easily recognisable. It was made by hand, with individual working lights, tapestries, wallpaper, handcarved spindles and is covered in more than 2,000 individually placed miniature

The dolls house which was stolen

clay bricks. It was made for his gran, Margaret, by her husband Stanley as a ‘huge romantic gesture’ as she loves dolls houses.

The theft of the ‘irreplaceable’ heirloom is especially heart-breaking for the family as Stanley passed away eight years ago –

and Margaret is currently very ill with a life-limiting condition.

The family have been unable to tell her that the item has been stolen as they are afraid of upsetting her while she is so ill.

The heartless thieves also took a TV cabinet, which was made to look like a dolls house as well.

Callum said: “The dolls house was truly one of a kind.

“My nan has had the most sentimental possession stolen from her home and I am pleading with Champion readers to help us. Even if they know just the smallest bit of information it could help the police to reunite us with the house which means so much to the family.

“Inside the dolls house are little tapestries lovingly handcrafted by my nan, which were embroidered with the initials, M and R. “Also stolen was the little TV cabinet that my grandad made – and we are hoping that finding this smaller item could lead us to the dolls house. If you know anything at all, please help us.”

If you have any information, call the police on 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously at crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling 0800 555111.

SINGERS and groups are wanted to provide entertainment at Hesketh Park's 150th birthday celebrations in September.

The Hesketh Park Heritage Group, which was formed more than 20 years ago, are organising a celebration event at the park from 11am to 4pm on Sunday, September 16.

They are hoping for groups and singers to provide enter-

tainment for donations on the day.

“We would like to celebrate the park’s birthday in a modest way and I would like to ask if there are any musical groups who would perform freely – we can have collecting boxes - to help the day go with a swing.”

If you can volunteer to help with the celebrations, call Tom on 01704 534969.

Tory councillor edges West Lancs by-election to claim narrow victory JOAN Witter from the Conservative Party has emerged victorious in the Hesketh-with-Becconsall by-election.

Locals were asked to vote in the West Lancashire Borough Council ward following a by-election on Thursday, July 19. Councillor Witter won after she

received 510 votes compared to Nick Kemp (Labour) who collected 431 votes and Steve Kirby (Independent) who received 295 votes.

The other representative for the Hesketh-with-Becconsall ward is Cllr Iain Ashcroft, also from the Conservative Party.

West Lancs Council currently has 54 borough councillors serving the 25 wards of the borough.

Councillors are elected by a simple majority and serve for four years.

The Council has 33 Labour seats, 19 seats held by Conservative and 2 'Our West Lancashire' seats.

Mobile phone user charged £28 for returning missed call in new scam Report by Kenny Parker A MOBILE phone user is warning others of a scam that could land them with a hefty bill after he was charged more than £4 per minute for contacting a missed caller.

Richard Rimmer from Scarisbrick says that he received 69 missed calls over a two day period and when he tried to phone two of the numbers back to find out who they were he was charged premium rate.

One of the numbers with a +24 prefix (code for Seychelles) was charged at £1.66 per minute and the other number which had a +88 prefix (code for Taiwan) was charged at £4.16 per minute.

Mr Rimmer was charged £28 by his provider EE for the brief calls he made. Thankfully after being contacted by the Champion, EE has said they will refund him the money.

Richard, 44, said that when he called the numbers back he heard a recorded message in one case and the voice of a woman laughing in the other.

Scammers hang up after just one or two rings

He believed the scammers tried to keep him on the phone for as long as possible.

“Even though I am blocking the numbers on my phone, they can still get through,” he said, “Because when you block one number they start ringing on another similar number with just a digit or two different.

“The phone calls have been at 12 in the morning 3am in the morning, right through the whole day. It’s unbelievable!

“Other people need to know about it so that they are not going through what I am going through.”

It is believed that Richard

was the victim of a scam known as wangiri, which originated in Japan. Wangiri is Japanese for ‘one [ring] and cut’. Scammers rely on mobile phone users naturally ringing callers back when they receive a missed call and lines are then unsuspectingly transferred to a premium rate line.

Fraudsters are said to operate on an industrial scale, using automated dialling machines to work through huge ranges of phone numbers, calling thousands every minute.

A spokesperson for EE said: “We have refunded Mr Rimmer the full £28 charge incurred, and we ask that customers contact their operator and Action Fraud immediately if they think they have been victims of fraud.

“We actively block all numbers we believe to be involved in this type of fraud, and block new numbers as soon as we’re aware of them.

“We also urge everyone to be cautious when calling back unknown callers, especially from the 0843 and 0845 number ranges. This is an industrywide issue and we are working with other operators to help prevent this type of fraud.”

Coal Tar Soap without the real thing just doesn’t wash!

FINGS ain’t wot they used to be.

The catch phrase from a now very old pop song of the late 1950s.

And the same applies now as I realised when I came to take a bath this morning.

For year’s I have used Wright’s Coal Tar Soap for my bathtime ablutions - I like the coal tar smell - it almost oozes disinfectant in a pleasant, homely sort of way.

It is long lasting and, I thought, tried and tested over generations.

So I was delighted to be able to buy four tablets of the soap for the price of three, the orange, red and white wrapper and the familiar trade mark taking me back to my childhood.

Imagine my disappointment when for no particular reason I took a closer look at this wrapping and found that the wording now says: ‘Traditional Soap with coal tar fragrance.’

I’m not certain what this exactly used to say, but I’m pretty sure it used to actually claim to be ‘Coal Tar Soap.’

The blurb on the back of the packing told me that: ‘Wright’s Traditional Soap has been a family favourite for over 130 years’ and ‘has retained its natural appeal’.

Well, to be fair I wouldn’t argue with that - apart from the far less strong aroma of coal tar.

But once you read the (now compulsory) list of ingredients, of ‘coal tar’ there is no mention so I suppose the smell is in fact totally fake.

Now I probably will continue to buy Wright's Traditional soap if only because I still like the (now residual) smell and it is long lasting.

But this is, I fear, just another ‘not what it used to be’ item only discovered because of modern trading standards and ‘elf and safety’ regulations.

Apart from coal tar soap I have always been a sucker for chocolate peppermint creams, particularly those with dark, as opposed to milk, chocolate.

Now there is a plethora of such chocks on sale but here the old maxim ‘you get what you pay for’ is most certainly true.

You can buy chocolate peppermint creams very cheaply - but beware!

Those ‘bargain’ peppermints often contain absolutely no peppermint whatever - just 'peppermint flavouring’ (Exxx).

Now I realised that long ago and now splash out on more expensive brands (you even get chocolate with a recognisable amount of cocoa in it).

This ‘ersatz’ approach now extends to almost anything. Tell you what though. One place where things are very much what they used to be is in the House of Commons.

I’ve not mentioned Brexit much recently, not least because the situation seems to change every day and probably only just over half the population agree with my views on the matter.

We appear to have a Prime Minister who is now hell bent on a ‘pragmatic’ solution to our exit deal.

In her two ‘set piece’ speeches on Brexit, Mrs May appeared to be keeping all her balls in the air - now she seems to have lost them.

And if you believe as I do that the quicker we shake the mud from the European Union quagmire the better, this is catastrophic.

But since her antics don’t seem to have pleased the Remainers either, perhaps I should point out the disastrous, almost fatal for Great Britain, results of the last great appeasement - because this country is within an ace of becoming a vassal state of the EU and losing a golden chance of a great new age where we can all be proud of our heritage and our future.

MORE than £500 has been donated to Southport Foodbank from McColls convenience stores.

The money was raised during the past 12 months from McColls branches at Queens Road, Portland Street and Sussex Road through selling NISA stock instore with a percentage of the takings donated to local causes.

Bowling taster session to raise funds for cancer charity A FLAT green bowling taster session is being held in King’s Gardens to raise funds for charity.

Derek Maxwell, from Marshside, is organising the session with Southport Flat Green Bowling Club on Wednesday, August 1, from 2pm, for anyone wanting to try their hand at the activity to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Derek - a 1-year-old retired pensions consultant - was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2015. He said: “The treatment I received in Southport has been second to none. However, during the early stages of my treatment, I struggled with my diagnosis and was placed on the ‘Move More’ programme run by Macmillan Cancer Support and Sefton Council.

“The programme helped give me back the energy I lost through my medication and put me in a much more positive frame of mind. Macmillan also provided vital information and emotional support when I needed it most.”

A MEDIEVAL-THEMED festival at Shaw Hall Holiday Park has raised a merry sum of £550 for a cancer charity.

The Medieval Mayhem event featured numerous attractions including an auction, a cake competition, bouncy castle, and even stocks! Visitors were pitted against each other in an archery contest, boiled egg tossing and a three-legged race.

A presentation cheque was given to Pam Walmsley, secretary and treasurer of Southport and district Macmillan Cancer Support by the Scarisbrick holiday park’s joint owner David Langley and receptionist Karen Burgess.

GENUINE MERCEDES STAR DIAGNOSTICS

FIREFIGHTERS have teamed up with Sefton Council to support a new campaign aimed at helping people spot the signs of controlling behaviour and domestic abuse.

Two fire engines from the service have had their liveries updated as part of the ‘Escape the Control’ campaign, including important messages and details on how people can find out more information.

Taxis and buses in the area will also feature similar messages.

Controlling money, always criticising and being purposely isolated from friends and family are just some of the examples being highlighted as ‘coercive control’ in a new campaign on domestic abuse to be launched across Sefton from Monday, July 23.

‘Escape the Control’, which is being run jointly by Knowsley and Sefton Councils, aims to help people understand how extreme controlling behaviour is domestic abuse and what signs to look out for, if concerned about friends or family.

Posters and leaflets explaining the signs to look out for will be available from next week in GP and health centres, leisure centres, dentists, hairdressers and many more everyday locations where victims and those worried about others can access them without having to go through official channels.

Group Manager Mark Thomas from Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service said: “Our communities are at the heart of everything that we do and when we can have a positive impact to make our communities safer then we will do so.

“Like our partners, we recognise that

Two fire engines have now had their liveries updated as part of the ‘Escape the Control’ campaign

domestic violence in all its forms is unacceptable and we are very happy to support this campaign through branding of our fire appliances and raising awareness.”

Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities and Housing, Trish Hardy, added: “The number of people accessing domestic abuse support services continues to increase, with the number of highrisk clients being supported increasing by 63% between 2013/14 and 2014/15.

Extreme controlling behaviour or coercive control often begins very slowly and can be hard to understand. We want people to be aware of the signs, both for themselves and for friends and family and to know what to do in that situation.”

Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner

for Merseyside, Emily Spurrell, says: “I welcome this new campaign to highlight the signs of controlling behaviour and how individuals can help themselves or others. Everyone has the right to live free of fear.

“If you are unreasonably under suspicion from your partner or a member of your family to the point where you are unable to remain in contact with your circle of friends; if you are constantly questioned about who you were talking to or who you were texting; perhaps you have no access to money, even the money you earn. This is coercive control which is domestic abuse and that is a crime. Merseyside Police take coercive control extremely seriously and would urge anyone with concerns to report it.”

Winners celebrate at last year’s staff awards.

Awards to celebrate hard working hospital staff DO you know a member of staff working at our local hospital who deserves special recognition?

If so, now is the time to nominate them for the Time to Shine People’s Health Hero Award.

Members of the public are being invited to nominate a member of staff at Southport and Ormskirk Hospital NHS Trust for an honour in the 10th annual staff awards.

Trust chief executive, Silas Nicholls, said: “It’s a special year for the NHS this year as we’re celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the service in 1948.

“So, we’re making the Trust’s 10th annual staff awards special too with a new look.

“We want to share patients’ and the public’s pride in our staff by seeing them nominated in the Time to Shine People’s Health Hero Award.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for individuals or families to show

their appreciation to a staff member who is the jewel in their team.

“They will have shown drive, enthusiasm or good sense of humour, inspiring those around them, especially in times of difficulty or stress.”

Nominations for the award are open until Sunday, August 19.

Any member of staff, in any role, is eligible for a nomination providing they have worked for the Trust over the past 12 months.

Nominations can be made from the trust’s website or in writing to the chief executive at Southport Hospital.

Time to Shine is the new name for the awards previously known as the Pride Awards.

They will be presented for the first time at Formby Hall Golf Club and Spa on Friday, October 12.

ENTERTAINMENT

Choir celebrating 50 years of musical THERE’S something special about a community choir. They bring various people of different ages and walks of life together with two common goals - to make music and to have fun in the process. Well, local based United Voice Show Choir, who celebrated their tenth anniversary last year, have certainly gained a reputation for their fun approach to singing.

Their entertaining and often crazy antics at concerts, spurred on by the unquenchable energy and enthusiasm of their director, James Loynes, have left audiences wondering what the choir could possibly be getting up to in their next performance.

Will they be inviting audiences again aboard United Voice Airlines and treating them to comical renditions of Pretty Woman or You Raise Me Up, while dressed as in-flight cabin crew? Or perhaps reprising that life-affirming moment that saw a 90 year old member of the choir "rocking out" on stage and air guitaring to Bohemian Rhapsody?

Well, in fact, this summer they are doing something different again.

Celebrating the 50th birthday of Joseph and the Amazing Tech-

Members of United Voice Show Choir

nicolor Dreamcoat, United Voice are taking audiences to Egypt with a concert performance of the beloved musical, which has become a favourite with audiences of all ages.

Packed with great music, humour, colour and hilarious surprises, Joseph is sure to have people smiling from ear to ear and dancing in the aisles, in the true tradition of United Voice's concerts.

Come celebrate 50 years of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Greenbank High School (Thursday 2, Friday 3 and Saturday, August 4) at 7.30pm.

Show was ‘another success for Royal Court regulars’ Review by Ron Ellis Mam! I’m ‘ere Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool THE same week that Mama Mia 2 arrived at our cinemas, filled with a preponderance of Abba B-sides, along comes Mam! I’m ‘ere to the Royal Court, featuring great disco hits of the 70’s, like Candi Staton’s Young Hearts Run Free and September by Earth, Wind and Fire, played by a live four-piece band that has the theatre rocking from the opening chords and with not one Abba number in sight.

When first staged at the Dome in Renshaw Street, Mam! I’m ‘ere attracted 10,000

MD Manchester Airport Direct

people and more than double that number turned up when it was transported to the Royal Court in 2015, so what better time for a revival?

We are in Boogie Wonderland, a run-down holiday camp on a Welsh island, brilliantly captured by Mark Walter’s ascending set.

The camp is run by Dave (Andrew Schofield), who is also lead vocalist and master of the disco dancing routines.

Dave’s daughter, Sally (Hayley Sheen), is about to get married but, unlike in the film, it is not her long-lost father that she is hoping to meet on her wedding day, but the mother she has never known, having been left on her Dad’s doorstep when she was born.

So, Sally has secretly invited three of Dad’s ex-girlfriends from years ago, Brenda, Mandy and Julie (played with great gusto by Royal Court regulars, Ethne Browne, Lynn Francis and Lindzi Germaine), one of whom

she thinks may turn out to be her mother.

The minute the first chords of Boogie Wonderland boom out, starry lights cascade round the auditorium, Mia Molloy and Rachel Wood, as the Disco Divas, belt out the lyrics and the party has begun.

Vocal backing is provided by Jake Abraham as Teddy, Stephen Fletcher (who also happened to write the script, direct and coproduce the play!) as Alf and his brother Michael (who helped paint the set) as bridegroom, Si, complete with 70’s Afro wigs.

Corny jokes abound, the dancing is frantic, the laughs echo round the theatre and there is a great feelgood factor about the place with the audience enjoying it as much as the cast. In fact, as quite often happens at Royal Court comedies, the two are almost indistinguishable.

Star rating: 8 out of 10. Another success for the Royal Court regulars.

Sefton Council in partnership with Sefton CVS has dedicated 2018 as the Year of the Volunteer!

Following on from the huge success of the Year of the Coast, the tireless work of Sefton’s thousands of volunteers, who give thousands of hours of their time each week, is being celebrated in a year long campaign to raise awareness of how much volunteers do for the borough. Volunteers make a real difference in Sefton. They touch people’s lives in so many different ways, providing comfort and support, fostering community development, and actively helping to keep Sefton clean, green and beautiful. Volunteering also has a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of those who participate in it. To learn more about the Year of the Volunteer and how to get involved visit www.volunteeringsefton.org.uk

Animal Shelter Teams Up With Foodbanks for YOV

Bootle-Based YKids Is On The Look Out For Volunteers!

Volunteers Needed To Create A Real Buzz In Formby!

Formby based Freshfields Animal Rescue are working with volunteers at various Sefton food banks to provide additional support to vulnerable animals.

Food Banks are fulfilling a vital role in today’s society, providing a lifeline for people who are in need of the most immediate and urgent help to care for their families.

Most roles are children & youth work focused and YKids is particularly looking for people who have time in the evenings- ideally at least one day per week.

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who has, or is looking to work in education to help in its after schools program.

An appeal has been launched, via B 4 Biodiversity & the Sefton Year of the Volunteer campaign, to find fresh faced volunteers who would love to get involved with Formby’s very own beehive.

For more information on this opportunity please visit the website featured at the bottom of this advert.

Andrea Ku of B 4 Biodiversity works closely with Formby Library to maintain a special apiary within the Duke Street site as part of the Beehive and Bookworms project.

Scouting For Volunteers Church Heritage Project Needs Volunteers Thanks to a Heritage Lottery Fund grant, St Nicholas’ Church in Blundellsands are launching a new project.

The grant will help St Nicholas’ to extend its role as a heritage centre and community resource. A team of volunteers will support this work, by promoting the church’s heritage at public events, acting as guides for visitors and helping in the church’s new refreshment area.

Become a Clean-up Champion April is the Year of the Volunteer’s Clean, Green and Beautiful environment month, where we celebrate volunteers who help keep our borough beautiful.

The 22 miles spanning between Southport and Seaforth are some of the most iconic, idyllic and important stretches of coastline in the UK but it takes a lot of work to make our coastline the sandy success that it is!

Southport District Scouts are currently looking to fill two strategic voluntary positions. Southport District covers Ainsdale through to Crossens, and Southport District Scouts provides a programme of activities and learning experiences for over 200 young people across the area.

Of course, these activities can only be delivered with the support of adult volunteers in a variety of roles.

Food Banks & Anti Poverty Each month the Year of the Volunteer campaign focuses on a special theme, and some of the areas that we will look to highlight soon include Health & Wellbring and Youth Volunteering. We’ve been catching up with a number of volunteer organisations and individuals, including South Sefton Foodbank and Lakeside Foodbank, Southport, who regularly spend hundreds of hours each month to help families and those in need of emergency food supplies.

But how can you get involved?

A dedicated ‘hub’ for volunteers past, present and future has been set up at:

THE CAR in front – to paraphrase an old TV ad slogan – is my Toyota. Only it isn’t going anywhere, because the vehicle hailed as the nation’s 31st most reliable when it was new has decided to come over all un-Toyota-ish and break down.

An hour later and the verdict is in from the AA – the ignition contact switch, after nearly 20 years of being flicked back and forth on commutes, is finally on the way out and needs a £20 replacement to make sure I can get to work on time. This sort of thing shouldn’t be a problem if you’re sensible and employ a vaguely new car to do your bidding – but if you aren’t and rely almost entirely on old ones, the next few paragraphs are probably going to sound painfully familiar.

At the moment I have four cars at my disposal, and that’s not for pub bragging purposes, seeing as they collectively cost less than a year’s depreciation on a new 5-Series to buy. It’s a bit like having a 72-piece cutlery set from an upmarket department store – you might not use all the bits all the time, but for whatever

you’re cooking up you know you always have the right equipment handy.

Which in the event of the Toyota suddenly being out of action means turning to the Mazda MX-5 that I normally keep for holidays and visits to sun-kissed car shows, but unfortunately that’s already at a garage, having its radiator looked at after getting all hot and bothered in 30-degree heat on a classic car run.

No bother. I’ll just turn to the rather unlikely set of wheels I’ve been tasked with running for a year by my colleagues at Classic Car Weekly – a Reliant Robin that I snapped up last Christmas for £600. Alas, that was out of action at roughly the same point Big Ben chimed in New Year, after a couple of mates and I discovered that its front crossmember was made largely out of rust and needed a total overhaul. We’ve been tinkering with it ever since.

All of which leaves just one car in my life that I know I can rely on – my MGB GT, built 46 years ago by British Leyland. Despite its rather faded paintwork this is usually one of the few cars I own that I can normally depend on to fire up, its B-series humming excitedly in anticipation every time I hop in. Or at least it would do had I not left it for ages and let its battery go flat because I’d been too busy breaking down in the other cars.

They don’t build ‘em like they used to – they build ‘em a lot better. Feel free to think I’m a bit bonkers for putting up with four old cars as opposed to one vaguely decent one, but they’re all brilliant. When they work, that is…

Tommy Fleetwood disappointed not to have capitalised on strong start at Open TOMMY Fleetwood was disappointed he could not capitalise on his strong start to The Open Championship and he finished in joint 12th, writes Henry James.

Fleetwood had shared the clubhouse lead on Friday after shooting a 65 in the rain, which included six birdies, including one from 12 feet at the notoriously difficult last hole.

However his rounds for the weekend - 71 and 73 – were not as good.

On the Sunday he birdied the first and went to six under, which at the time was only three behind the overnight leaders. But he dropped two shots at the 6th when he hit his ball out of bounds.

The 27-year-old finished five shots behind the winner Francesco Molinari and commented: “I don’t want to be a bit of a baby about it, but I’m obviously disappointed,” he said.

“I didn’t really feel like I did that much wrong. I could have got it going because the crowd were with me.

Healthy crowd for women’s match

Tommy Fleetwood

of the score is I still had a chance and just couldn’t do it.

“I could have done things better but it just wasn’t to be.

“I felt like I did so many things right, but putts just didn’t really drop for the weekend like they did the first two days and overall that was it.

“It’s always sad and disappointing, but it just wasn’t my time.”

Fleetwood will be playing in his first Ryder Cup when the event is staged this September in Paris.

A HEALTHY crowd witnessed the first ever Women’s Kia Cricket Super League fixture to be played at Southport & Birkdale CC on Sunday afternoon as Lancashire Thunder played Loughborough Lightning in the opening round of the 2018 competition.

Both sides had an array of international talent at their disposal with Lancashire featuring Australia’s Nicole Bolton and New Zealand’s Amy Satterthwaite as well England’s Danielle Hazell, Katie Cross, Sophie Ecclestone and Alex Hartley.

Loughborough’s star studded team included New Zealand’s Sophie Devine, Australia’s Elyse Villani and Rachel Haynes, Scotland’s Kirstie Gordon as well as England’s Amy Jones, Jenny Gunn and Georgia Elwiss.

The visitors won the toss, elected to field and bowled out Lancashire for just 72 in 16.5 overs, with Jenny Gunn 3-10 and Sophie Devine 3-15 shining with the ball, whilst Evelyn Jones top scored with
